SNARE motif of YKT6; Ykt6 forms complexes with syntaxin-5 (Qa), GS28 (Qb) and either Bet1 (Qc) or GS15 (Qc). This complex regulates the early secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells at the level of the transport from the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) to the cis-Golgi and transport from the trans-Golgi network to the cis-Golgi, respectively. Ykt6 is a member of the R-SNARE subfamily of SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins which contain coiled-coil helices (called SNARE motifs) that mediate the interactions between SNARE proteins, and a transmembrane domain. The SNARE complex mediates membrane fusion, important for trafficking of newly synthesized proteins, recycling of pre-existing proteins and organelle formation. SNARE proteins are classified into four groups, Qa-, Qb-, Qc- and R-SNAREs, depending on whether the residue in the hydrophilic center layer of the four-helical bundle is a glutamine (Q) or arginine (R). Qa-, as well as Qb- and Qc-SNAREs, are localized to target organelle membranes, while R-SNARE is localized to vesicle membranes. They form unique complexes consisting of one member of each subgroup, that mediate fusion between a specific type of vesicles and their target organelle. Their SNARE motifs form twisted and parallel heterotetrameric helix bundles.

Regulated-SNARE-like domain; Longin is one of the approximately 26 components required for transporting proteins from the ER to the plasma membrane, via the Golgi apparatus. It is necessary for the steps of the transfer from the ER to the Golgi complex. Longins are the only R-SNAREs that are common to all eukaryotes, and they are characterized by a conserved N-terminal domain with a profilin-like fold called a longin domain.
